In light of recent events, AL.com post a top 10 most underachieving SEC teams in chronological order.

1. 2000 Bama
2. 2003 Auburn
3. 2005 Tennessee
4. 2008 Auburn
5. 2010 Alabama
6. 2010 Florida
7. 2013 Georgia
8. 2014 South Carolina
9. 2015 Auburn
10.2020 LSU

One thing in common for all these programs is that they've made it to Atlanta before.

2020 gets my vote for most underachieving. Truly abysmal year for a hyped up fanbase.

2008 was more of an underachievement than 2013.

2013 we lost every wr we had at one point and our top two RBs. Then lost Murray in the next to last game of the year.

No A&M team made the list because no one ever expects them to do anything of note, hence they can't underachieve.

5. 2010 Alabama

Broken record for me at this point — I think I've mentioned this several times this year alone — but still the most enigmatic season of the Saban era, IMO.



Roster: McElroy, Ingram, J.Jones, Carpenter/Warmack/B.Jones/Fluker, Dareus, Hightower, Upshaw, Kirkpatrick, Barron

Staff: Burns, Davis, Pendry, Pruitt, Smart, Sunseri

Record: 10–3 (5–3 SEC); sandwiched between BCS NCs in 2009, 2011

Yep. And Aaron Murray got hurt at the end of the year too. We had like 4 or 5 starters get hurt at Kneeland

Starters against Mizzou:

QB: Aaron Murray
RB: Brendan Douglas
RB: JJ Green
WR: Reggie Davis
WR: Rantavious Wooten
WR: Rhett McGowan

2008 UGA was far bigger underachiever than the depleted 2013 UGA. So was 2014 UGA.

Surprised LSU 2021 didn't make it. Is that because they were expected to be shitty again?

Personally the two Georgia teams that have pissed me off the most this century was 2004 and 2008.

The 2004 team imo was our most talented Richt team and we couldn't even make it to the frigging SECCG, and then in 2008 we started No. 1 and got blown out by Florida and Alabama and even figured out a way to lose to Tech smh.

After losing the starting QB before the season, reasonable people weren't expecting much, but likely better than .500.
